3. TCC to NSU or ODU

   shyne77 replied to shyne77's topic in General Nursing

   No, it helps. Im going to be doing the same thing. My cousin is currently a student at MCI(LPN) and she said that someone there told her that she could go to NSU for her RN in 9 months after she finishes at MCI. I told her that it was just to good to...

   If I use the GI Bill, would I also be able to get other financial assistance? I DO NOT want to get another huge loan. If I dont use the GI BILL would I be able to get grants, financial aide, and maybe a small loan?

   I hear you! I wont be going to another school like those either. It was a lesson learned. Going to a CC is so time consuming, but if you want it you gotta go for it. Im so annoyed. I thought about going back to MCI so I could get it done faster, plus...

    Thank you guys for your input. HoneyGamble, I did take Bio in high school, but I will talk to a counselor to see where I stand. So the hold up would be science? I can take a class online. Is that in addition to any other pre'reqs I may be taking? I d...

    I am currently looking into a nursing program in the hampton roads area. I came across a few schools. I have my AAS in Medical assisting from MCI 2005. Since their credits dont transfer, I have to start from scratch unless I go back to them. I refuse...

    Thank you for your help BOB_N_VA. This is exactly what I was looking for. I had a few questions. How long did it take to complete your pre'reqs if you went fulltime at TCC? How do you actually get into the program at Riverside? Is there an entrance e...
